Just
a quick post from me today as i am off to Exeter Craft Show, been a few
months since i visited a craft show so i am off to have a crafty
shopping spree, hopefully pick up some bargains too! I am also posting my card a day early as we have the launch of our challenge tomorrow! Today i have am with a quick & easy card. This week our theme is Something New so i thought i would ink up one of my new sets of The Alley Way Stamps.

I
love bee images, i have to confess i have quite a few, there is
something cheerful about them, maybe it's because they are bright yellow
and that cheers me up! This stamp is from the Priceless Joy Set which is full of uber cute little images. I coloured up mr bee with my Copics
and i stamped the bzzz sentiment a few times to create a sentiment
banner. I also used an SU embossing folder & some Pink Petticoat
Digi Honeycomb papers!

This week I wanted to share a card with you all using one of the stamps I treated myself to recently. If you haven't already I would definitely recommend a peek at the Stamping Bella stamps we stock over on the website. Including this gorgeous newbie ...

Hey guys, its Tuesday again!!! How does that happen so fast???So, that means it my turn here at My Mum's Craft Shop to share a "new" something with our "new" theme this week ...

How about a new baby card?? I have used the Echo park papers "Bundle of Joy girl " , I LOVE these... I have used them over and over... not just for baby cards either... I colour my baby stamp up with my markers added some flowers from stash, and a swirly leafy die cut... Embellished with stickles.. and tried out my new gesso, through a stencil, to get a bit of texture. Maybe I need practice... Don't forget to pop back and see what "new" creations my MMCS teamies come up with.You're in for a treat!!HugsLis xxx

We've got ourselves a free week, which means I got to play with yet another Paper Smooches stamp set.

The set I used for this card is "Green Thumb" - I knew as soon as I seen it I had to have it!! Look at that sentiment - compost happens - perfect for so many cards!!

There are pieces of veg in the set including this cute carrot and pea pod.

I knew when I sat down to make this card I didn't want it to include any colouring, so I decided to paper piece instead. I used papers from Carta Bella Wildflower pack and really loved how the little seed packets turned out!

This card would be perfect to send to a gardening friend or to anyone who is in need of a little pick me up!!

Voila - a card without a ProMarker in sight! I even resisted the urge to colour the little snails shell! ;)

Lyndsey here with my Monday inspiration post. We have a free week this week so I had lots of ideas to choose from.

For my card today I have used the utterly adorable Tiddly Ink stamp - Happy Bee Day. I really love this little cutie dressed up in her busy bee outfit.

I teamed the image with some gorgeous Echo Park papers- Times & Seasons 2, made a cute little double bow topped with a Large Sparkler and added a couple of Striped Candy Dots. The sentiment which I then stamped direct onto the paper in the top corner comes with the stamp.

Thanks for joining me here on the MMCS blog, please do pop back throughout the week to see what my teamies have come up with.

Whilst riffling through my stash the other day, I spotted this stamp from CC Designs and had the urge to colour her up. (She's currently in the Big Winter Sale too!) After I found her, I dug out some of my fave papers from Echo Park and made a really happy, spring card. With such busy paper, I didn't want to over complicate the card, so some twine and a Wooden Buttonmade it Job Done!

Kitty here with my usual Saturday slot! We have had so much new stock in this week it was tricky to know what
to use as all of it is lush! I did decide to go for my favourite
company, yep you guessed it MFT of course ;)

I made this using some of the fabulous new releases that were launched earlier this week. I used Dienamics Cute Cameras 2 and MFT Picture This Stamps. I teamed these up with some embossed card and some papers by Authentique. I made it a bit 3d so the layers pop in real life but also kept it simple.

This week as you know we have a free week which means the DT can make anything they want! I decided to use one of my recent purchases of a gorgeous House Mouse stamp which is available on the website along with the sentiment set & papers that I also used.
